All Chapters of Bright Future With Him: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

He was exhausted when he woke up. Damn it, why did he have that kind of dream? Was it because of that girl from the hotel? Some things just felt different after you experienced them!When he thought of that night in Northvale, he wished to find that girl and tear her to bits.Meanwhile, Kathryn was making breakfast in the kitchen when she felt a chill. She sneezed. Then, her phone started buzzing. When she saw that it was Jessica, she picked up. "Jessica?""Did you give Maxwell 50 dollars?""It's enough for one meal!" Kathryn huffed. It served him right for trying to act rich! That'd show him!That fixed his emergency situation, but that close call would probably haunt him for life. She thought Jessica would nag her again about Wendy causing trouble. But Jessica snorted and said, "Yeah, that's enough. It's time we taught him a lesson." After all, he knew he was broke, yet he took a bunch of friends out for dinner. And then, he called them both in the middle of the night, askin

In the end, Chris made a simple sausage muffin. Kathryn wasn't used to eating it, but she tried her best to eat some. She was still wearing the clothes Chris handed her last night. She was so scared back then that she hadn't washed her clothes. So either way, she needed to take the day off! Chris saw that she was conflicted, so he said, "Don't cook from now on. Your cooking is bad, anyway." It wasn't just bad, but it was cursed. First, she burned both the eggs and the bread. Then, she boiled pasta and added nothing else. And now, she scalded herself.When she thought about it, nothing she did went right. Kathryn thought Chris was angry about today's accident, so she pouted and said, "I didn't mean to do it.""Whether you meant to isn't the point. The point is, your cooking is so bad, you're wasting food!"Kathryn didn't know what to say. That insult was a bit harsh, but she couldn't talk back.After breakfast, Chris was about to go to the office. Before he left, he said, "Don't

Meanwhile, at Rexton Manor, Kathryn and Tally watched the clothes getting delivered. They exchanged looks. Clearly, they had no idea what Chris was doing.Their marriage was fake, but this was…The workers' leader stepped forward. "Madam, Mr. Albert asked us to send you these. He says they're all your size, so you don't need to try them on."Kathryn and Tally's mouths twitched at the same time. Especially Tally, who instinctively looked at Kathryn's scalded foot. Chris had specifically asked them to tell her that, so she wouldn't have to try anything on? Just how considerate was their icy CEO?Kathryn's mind had gone so blank, and she didn't react for a while. The worker had to call out, "Madam? Madam?""Huh? Yes?" Kathryn snapped out of her trance, but she was clearly still overwhelmed.On the other hand, the worker had already taken out a pen and notebook. He said respectfully, "Please tell us your favorite colors and styles. So we may serve you better in the future!""N-no

They didn't know if Chris suspected Kathryn right now. Tally and Kathryn looked at the current situation again. They decided they would deny involvement in anything that night in Northvale!Even if Chris suspected something, Kathryn couldn't admit to anything until he had solid proof. Even if he tortured her.Kathryn had worked so hard to settle down in Harborlean. She couldn't let Chris drive her out.After Tally left, Kathryn waited for Chris to return like a prisoner on death row. But when noon came around, it wasn't Chris who came but the Albert family.The one who showed up was Chris' stepmother, Krista Preston! Her fingers were slender, and her nails were painted red. She looked like the perfect mix of seductive beauty and elegance.Krista took out a check and put it on the coffee table before pushing it toward Kathryn with a cold look. "You're a smart woman, Ms. Michaels. You know what I mean, don't you?"Kathryn's face fell. She may be very timid in front of Chris, but Kr

After hanging up, Chris looked at the security footage on his computer. He forgot all about Kathryn telling off Krista. He didn't even believe it.On the screen was the security footage. The image was peaceful, so quiet that it was creepy. After Kathryn brought him back, no one else entered. And no one else came back out either!The more Chris watched, the darker his gaze became. He picked up the phone and dialed a number. The call was quickly picked up. "Sir!""Spread the news about the wedding." Coldness flashed in Chris' eyes. Some people's dreams were about to be completely crushed.Right then, in Rexton Manor, Kathryn felt cold all over. She pulled the blanket tighter around herself.The housekeeper, Mrs. Hopkins, had already arrived. She finished cleaning up the house. Now, she was making grilled fish in the kitchen.The fragrant smell drifted over, making Kathryn's mouth water.Mrs. Hopkins came out with a food container Kathryn had brought from Jessica's. She ask
